I was wondering the same thing about Spivey. I had Durham, he went on the DL, I picked up Spivey. Then Spivey misses 4 games in mid-May, and 2 over the weekend. On ESPN.com, it says that he has some neck pain. No Durham is back off the DL, but who knows if he'll play regularly coming off of a nasty-looking ankle injury.

Roger Angell: I was talking with Bob Gibson and I said: 'Are you always this competitive?' He said: 'Oh, I think so. I got a three-year old daughter, and I've played about 500 games of tic-tac-toe with her and she hasn't beat me yet.'

maybe hte ghost of don baylor has posessed bob brenly, along with bob boone, and he's so neurotic about righty/lefty matchups that he'll sit a hot player to get some crap veterans like delluci, counsell, grace, or the like at bats.
